Noah and I had a fun time out on Friday and then we drove down to Santa Barbara early on Saturday. We were very mellow. We had good food and visited the zoo and very briefly went to the beach and let Shanna play in the water. We didn’t spend much time at the beach because we all sunburn like nobodies business. 🙂 A little bit was perfect. 🙂
I really enjoyed spending the time with Noah. He’s awesome to talk to. I think the hardest part of the weekend was how difficult it is for Shanna to spend that much time in the car. Oh and the massive disgusting poop explosion on the drive home. Dear god in heaven that was foul. But we cleaned it up fairly well and there was little stressing. w00t.
I think that the next weekend get-away should be a bit closer to home so we have to drive less. 🙂
(Oh: the gelato in Santa Barbara is nowhere near as good as the gelato in New Zealand. It was sad, really.)
Dairy products are a function of climate. NZ = more rain = better grass = better milk = better dairy products = better gelato. That’s why France (mostly temperate maritime climate) has more and better cheese than Italy (mostly Mediterranean climate).
As General Charles de Gaulle said, “How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?” Generalissimo Franco only had eighty kinds of cheese to deal with and he outlived de Gaulle by three years, as well as being in power much longer.
